A recent investigation by NBC Los Angeles, concerns over 2 dozen topless van tour companies in Los Angeles that will soon be receiving letters from the Department of Transportation regarding the modifications and safety of their vehicles. While many of these companies have their heart in the right place and wanting to provide the best experience for visitors, some have skirted regulations all together in terms of safety, training of guides, and the essential California Public Utilities Commission guidelines.

Wow! What a summer for Los Angeles and Beverly Hills with Glitterati Tours. We were nearly booked solid from mid-June through mid-August.

Glitterati Tours recommends viewing a map of L.A. to chart out your interests before choosing a hotel. This will also help put the city into perspective should you take a tour of LA.
